Granted
The Board granted annual clothing allowances for the 2021 calendar year for both a right knee brace and a left knee brace, as they were found to wear out or tear the Veteran's clothing.
The deciding factor: Based on the evidence submitted by the Veteran, including photographs of his knee braces, the Board found that his knee braces tended to wear out or tear his clothing at an increased rate.
